- W1520289631 abstract "Witnesses of War: Children's Lives Under the Nazis, by Nicholas Stargardt. New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 2006. $30.00 Although the of adult Second World War witnesses have received a great deal of critical attention in recent years, far less attention has been given the accounts of children of this epoch, and their memories of war-time. If discussed at all, memories have tended be written about from without - reflecting on the political and sociological changes which were implemented during the Nazi era, and the effects that these ideological systems had on children, both corporeally and psychologically - rather than from within, from the own viewpoints. Nicholas Stargardt's Witnesses of War breaks from this tradition of speaking on behalf of the child witness. Instead, Stargardt examines the lives of children during the Nazi era from a child-centric perspective in this volume, chronicling the rise and fall of the Nazi epoch and the effects that the dictatorship had on lives, through the prism of their own experiences. To achieve this, Stargardt has drawn on a mass of primary source material and testimony, examining resources as varied as school papers, letters written relatives from evacuation zones, and the medical records of disabled children and of those deemed biologically inferior or ineducable by the Nazi regime. Stargardt even looks at artwork from the ghetto at Theresienstadt and adult accounts of war-time games in his search for historical empathy and understanding. In Witnesses, Stargardt's main aim has been, as he states, to recapture what it felt like be a child under German rule in the Second World War, and examine experiences and emotions in the form they were expressed at the time - not just as they were remembered later in his work. With great originality, Stargardt examines the history of the children's war in Witnesses, by following the individual life-stories of children and rooting the progression of the Nazi regime in the ways in which it had an impact on lives. Perhaps the greatest strength of this volume is the deftness and fluidity with which Stargardt attains this balance, exploring the personal stories of individual children, while simultaneously providing his reader with a comprehensive and detailed overview of the political decisions which shaped their positioning during the war. …" @default.
